Open/Close process

from external_proc import *

p = ExtProcess.open(PROCESS_NAME or PROCESS_ID)
p.close()
### or ###
with ExtProcess.ctx_open(PROCESS_NAME or PROCESS_ID) as p:
  pass

Read/Write values

with ExtProcess.ctx_open(process_name) as p:
  # write
  p.write.list_bytes(address, [0x90, 0x90])
  p.write.bytes(address, b'\x90\x90')
  p.write.str(address, 'string')
  p.write.wstr(address, 'unicode string')
  p.write.uint8(address, 1)
  p.write.uint16(address, 1)
  p.write.uint32(address, 1)
  p.write.uint64(address, 1)
  p.write.int8(address, -1)
  p.write.int16(address, -1)
  p.write.int32(address, -1)
  p.write.int64(address, -1)
  p.write.float(address, 0.01)
  p.write.double(address, 0.01)
  # read
  v = p.read.list_bytes(address, BYTES_COUNT)
  v = p.read.bytes(address, BYTES_COUNT)
  v = p.read.str(address, MAX_BYTES_COUNT) # read string to first \x00
  v = p.read.wstr(address, MAX_BYTES_COUNT) # read string to first \x00
  v = p.read.uint8(address) # signed 1 byte value
  v = p.read.uint16(address) # signed 2 byte value
  v = p.read.uint32(address) # signed 4 byte value
  v = p.read.uint64(address) # signed 8 byte value

Simple dll injector x32/x64

with ExtProcess.ctx_open(process_name) as p:
  dll_path = os.path.abspath('lib.dll')
  loadlib_func = get_proc_address('kernel32', 'LoadLibraryA', x64=p.is_x64_process())
  param = p.alloc()
  p.write.str(param, dll_path)
  with p.ctx_create_thread(loadlib, param, wait_thread=True) as th_id:
      pass

Signature scanner. IDA Style

exe_module = p.get_module()
client_module = p.get_module('client.dll')

# .text:00428873 8D 4D F0          lea ecx, [ebp+var_10]
# .text:00428876 E8 05 4E FE FF    call 0x40D680

# E8 ? ? ? ? - it's instruction call 0x40D680
signature = "8D 4D F0 E8 ? ? ? ?" 

# equal: find_pattern(signature) + 3
sig_in_all_module: Ptr = client_module.find_pattern(signature, add_offset=3)
sig_in_code_section: Ptr = client_module.section('.text').find_pattern(signature, 3)

# for read relative offset from call instruction you can simple do this
adr = sig_in_code_section.go_call_ptr().get_address()
# same for jmp, je and etc inctructions: .go_jmp_ptr(), .go_jmp_short_ptr()

Shellcode injection. Using nasm(need add in to PATH environment variable directory with nasm.exe)

    # CheatEngine Tutorial x64. Step 7: Code Injection: (PW=013370)
    with ExtProcess.ctx_open('Tutorial-x86_64.exe') as t:
        m = t.get_module()
        code_decrement_health = 0x10002D4F7
        new_code = t.alloc(2048, code_decrement_health)  # alloc memory near 'code_decrement_health'
                                                                                   # for short relative jump!!!
        t.virtual_protect(code_decrement_health, 7, PageFlags.PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE)
        t.write.bytes(code_decrement_health, nasm(f'''jmp {hex(new_code)}\nnop\nnop''', 64, hex(code_decrement_health)))
        t.write.bytes(new_code, nasm('''add dword [rsi+0x7E0], 0x2 ; +2 health instead -1
                                        jmp qword 0x10002D4FE''', 64, new_code))
